this will apply to taxes in 2012. it's one that's actually looking back a little bit and what's going to happen is you're going to see 30 million more americans be subjected to this tax that weren't before. in addition to that, we're also looking at the expiration of the payroll tax holiday. what that could mean is on the 1st of the year, the first paycheck that americans receive, it's going to be 2%, there's going to be 2% of taxes that will be higher in that paycheck. so less money coming than was before. last but not least, i want to highlight the earned income tax credit and also the child tax credit. those are two that help the low income and middle-class earners. those are going to go down in we go over the cliff. >> a lot of people are focused on those. when you talk about the first faycheck that we could see -- paycheck that we could see, give us a sense -- you've broken it down to different income levels. the first if you make $50,000. >> absolutely. we want to look by the numbers. that's how americans can re

stocks because you might be extremely vulnerable if competition ever spiked in a big way or if the tax rate on dividends went up dramatically and your whole portfolio could get hurt. if you own one stock with a really large yield and one or two of the other names also sport decent dividends once they get raised, that's not a bad thing. i know dividend-paying stocks may not be what most people consider sexy, but you know what? dividends make you money, and to me that's the definition of sex appeal. i've got a pretty warped social life. my perspective here might be a little skewed but the fact remains buying high yielders and reinvesting your dividends back into the stocks, one of the greatest and most reliable ways to make money out there, plain and simple. it allows your investment to compound over time. in other words, over time the money from your past dividends pays dividends. giving you what we call compounding returns. now there's a huge misconception out there about dividends. people think that high-yielders are only about safety or generating income in your retirement, but if yo
